Expressing Thankfulness: A Celebration of Gratitude Through Abstract Art

Thankfulness Brings Blessings!

I've found it powerful to utilize the concept of abstract painting to represent praise and thankfulness in my art. Years ago, I learned about the power of thankfulness, during my most difficult times. That's why I desire to make it an important element in many of my paintings. I want all of my work to express light instead of darkness, but I also wanted to create a specific series that is ongoing which shares living in the light daily.

Even if it seems silly, thanking God and giving him honor for His grace, mercy and blessings can change your life from deep within your soul. It's designed to fill the heart with peace to overcome stress, joy to appreciate life, and victory to overcome difficult situations with success.  



Everyone Has Something To Be Thankful About

Some people believe their is no hope or anything to feel gratitude for, but we all have something, the smile of a child or ownership of a pet, for example. Find one thing and be thankful for it.  In time, you'll receive lasting peace and confidence.
